It only takes a minimal amount of digging to see that there are multiple shout outs to the 1960 film The Apartment in this mixtape. However, that was very much an after thought. I had wrapped up the whole thing with no sound clips and no artistic idea. I like these things to have some type of anchor in time so I often look back to what I've recently been reading/watching/listening-to and as happens I'd recently watched The Apartment.
It was a film I had never heard of and very much enjoyed. So while I wish I could say that this mixtape is "a loveletter to The Apartment" it definitely is not... also on second thought I'm glad I'm not saying that because that sounds insufferable.
The only connection is 'here is a thing that I watched while I was making a thing and what would happen if I mash them together?'.
But also... it's gotta mean something right?
